I wouldn't bet on that interpretation. I think FIRST's response would have to be "anything from prior year's that complies with this year's rules and Use Flowchart," e.g., solenoids, storage tanks, permitted cylinder sizes listed in the pneumatics manual.

Is it an Air Cylinder ordered from the Custom Cylinder Order Form?

Is it a purchased fitting or valve rated for 125psi
Or
A purchased cylinder or rotary actuator identical to those available on the Custom Cylinder Order Form?

Previous year’s pneumatic components
BUT ONLY
The cylinders and solenoid valves.

I thought the answer was very specific. It has to be listed in the pneumatics manual for it to be legal, or explicitly called out like the TI pressure switch. A couple of similar questions have been posted as follow-ups by people in this thread, but not answered yet.
